Evidence corroborating my story.
I wasn't gonna post this one so as not to appear like a douchebag, but oh well too late.

Could someone buy the pack for me? I will do two of these things in return on Monday or Tuesday when my shiny new card arrives, but one of those things must be the last one:
- Buy you a game on Steam up to the value of $20 (This is, like, 100% profit, man)
- Transfer $10 to you over PayPal
- Send happy thoughts your way

Bonus offer:
You can keep Red Faction Armageddon if you want it, I already have that.

I'm not sure how readily people here will be to help you (you appear to have posted a few times), but if you don't find help here check out CheapAssGamers. They have a rep system for stuff like this and they'll go crazy over any opportunity to make even the slightest profit.

PSN: Gundato
If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.

Just went there but the restrictions they place on new users means I won't be able to post there until the Amazon deal is over.

And I don't mean that I'm appalled by the object itself, by the way. I just get queasy about the way it's often used as a pejorative by people who would shy away from using the straightforward 'cunt'.

To me it's a swearword that manages to be both less officially offensive (PG-13) while at the same time misogynistic in a way that 'cunt' isn't.

Whatever twisted subjective inner logic led you to that conclusion I'm sure works out perfectly in your head, but yeah, nah, that is unequivocally incorrect.

I don't think "douche bag" is a particularly misogynistic term. It basically works on the same principle as using any form of bodily waste as an insult.

And, more importantly, it is a gender-neutral insult (to the point that men feel comfortable insulting women. Women rarely have any problems insulting men :p). So the usage/intent of the word itself is not inherently mysoginistic.

But, there are words that are not (necessarily) consciously used to degrade a group. For one thing, morons who watch South Park/grew up in particularly insensitive environments think it is okay to refer to people as derogatory terms for homosexual males. But those are insensitive/hate speech because of the (modern) origins of the term and the particularly hilarious/insensitive excuse of "I don't mean to mock gay people. I just use the term to mean something is stupid".
But clearly, "douche bag" is not one of those.

So what makes it a particularly mysoginistic term?

My pleasure! Let me know if there are any complications.
(Feel free to save the Red Faction Armageddon for some future worthy recipient; the collector in me kind of wants it, but once it passes into my grasp, I doubt it would ever get installed. =P Not enough wizards or sarcastic children in that game to suit my preferences. at least...i assume so).

Support for my all-pepperjack-cheese food bank charity drive has been lukewarm at best.
